The silk panels embroidered with scenes of houses, trees, bridges and temples within an ebonised pierced and carved wood surround decorated with birds and dragons, the reverse side with painted scenes. A substantial screen, it stands 6ft tall, the four folding panels fold away completely, so when not required it can be neatly tucked away. It is on castors for ease of movement. There is some wear and tears to the panels and rust on the castors etc but overall this is still a beautifully decorative screen, very well worked and an extremely eye catching piece.

FAQs

Folding screens, known as byobu, originated in China and were introduced to Japan, where they evolved distinct artistic styles and became functional art pieces used to divide spaces and block drafts.

Traditional screens are typically constructed with a lightweight wooden lattice frame, hinged panels, and surfaces covered with layers of heavy paper or silk, often framed by intricately carved woodwork.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction techniques such as traditional joinery, the type of hinges used, the aging of the materials, hand-painted details, and period-specific artistic motifs.

An antique screen can serve as a striking backdrop behind a sofa, a functional partition in an open-plan living space, or simply as a piece of wall-like art to add texture and historical contrast to contemporary decor.

Keep wooden screens out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying, maintain stable indoor humidity levels to protect the wood and paper elements, and dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.
